## A worked example

Hypothetical decision: a tablet stand image uses a real tablet showing the maker's own portfolio. The caption identifies the screen as an example rather than included software.

## What this can and cannot decide

A screen-on image does not prove device health, software entitlement or performance. Do not add a generated interface as evidence.
